Andrew Senetar 8cd0ef4c2b Initial Update of Windows Packaging (#438)
* Update run.py & .gitignore for windows

- Update run.py to execute on windows as SIGQUIT is not available.
- Update .gitignore to ignore the generate .pyd files
Ref #300, #393

* Update package.py for windows

Add package_windows back into package.py
- Using cx_freeze for freezing installation
- Will be using nsis for actual installer
Tested with python 3.5 64bit on windows 10
Ref #393

* Update makefile for windows (+2 misc)

- Update the makefile to support windows
- Use different bin path in virtualenv
- Use pyd instead of so files
- Tested with Msys2
- Add *.exe to .gitignore
- Fix minor format error in package.py
Ref #393

* Add requirements-windows

Add the requirements-windows.txt
- contains cx-Freeze for bundling
Ref #393

* Add initial setup.nsi

Initial Version of a NSIS installer script
- Multi-user install (install for just one or all)
- Registers uninstaller (more values need to finish up)
- Tested both single and all install / uninstall and works
- Still need to add parameters instead of hardcoded values in some spots
- Need to clean up vendor folders / keys if empty on uninstall
- Need to add the other dupeGuru languages to the language list
- Minor cleanup of script needed as well
Ref #393

* Update setup.nsi

Updates to setup.nsi including:
- Defines from CLI
- Version information (MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH)
- Bits (64 / 32)
- SourcePath (if we wanted something other than build)
- Added extra defines to move application specifics to one location
- Added extra defines for uninstall information
- Added calculation of install size
- Added switching between 64 and 32 bit contexts (need to verify
functionality)
- Updated output file naming
- Added NSIS supported languages which are also supported by dupeGuru
- Added rest of registry keys for uninstall information
- Added missing registry key for installType
- Added removeing Vendor folder and registry key if empty on uninstall

Should be very close to having this installer script ready to integrate
into the package.py script if desired.
Ref #393

* Update README & requirements-windows

Minor update to README to indicate windows is supported.  Add PyQt5 to
requirements-windows.txt to make installation easier.

* Update packaging for windows

- Update package.py to integrate NSIS for windows
- Update makefile to deal with a few additional windows issues
- Add Windows.md to contain specific windows instructions, if we want
this can be merged with README.md
- Minor formatting update to setup.nsi
Ref #393

* Update README & Windows Instructions

- Update the README to include a reference to the Windows instructions.
-  Add some additional notes into Windows Instructions and remove one
incorrect command.
- Update .gitignore to ignore all permutations of env* to allow for
multiple side by side virtual environments (used to build different
versions for windows)
Ref:  #393

* Update Window.md

Fix broken python link and move nsis link for consistency.

* More Details in Windows.md

Update Windows.md including:
- Information on compilier requirements for windows
- Notes about the windows 10 sdk
- Some clarification around some of the steps
- Addition of msys2 links

Going to review this a bit more to polish it up.

Ref #393.

# dupeGuru
[dupeGuru][dupeguru] is a cross-platform (Linux, OS X, Windows) GUI tool to find duplicate files in
a system. It's written mostly in Python 3 and has the peculiarity of using
[multiple GUI toolkits][cross-toolkit], all using the same core Python code. On OS X, the UI layer
is written in Objective-C and uses Cocoa. On Linux, it's written in Python and uses Qt5.
The Cocoa UI of dupeGuru is hosted in a separate repo: https://github.com/hsoft/dupeguru-cocoa
## Current status: People wanted
dupeGuru has currently only one maintainer, me. This is a dangerous situation that needs to be
corrected.
The goal is to eventually have another active maintainer, but before we can get there, the project
needs more contributors. It is very much lacking on that side right now.
Whatever your skills, if you are remotely interestested in being a contributor, I'm interested in
mentoring you. If that's the case, please refer to [the open ticket on the subject][contrib-issue]
and let's get started.
### Slowed development
Until I manage to find contributors, I'm slowing the development pace of dupeGuru. I'm not much
interested in maintaining it alone, I personally have no use for this app (it's been a *loooong*,
time since I had dupe problems :) )
I don't want to let it die, however, so I will still do normal maintainership, that is, issue
triaging, code review, critical bugfixes, releases management.
But anything non-critical, I'm not going to implement it myself because I see every issue as a
contribution opportunity.
### Windows maintainer wanted
As [described on my website][nowindows], dupeGuru v4.0 dropped Windows support
because there isn't anyone to bear the burden of Windows maintenance. If
you're a Windows developer and are interested in taking this task, [don't
hesitate to let me know][contrib-issue].
### OS X maintainer wanted
My Mac Mini is already a couple of years old and is likely to be my last Apple purchase. When it
dies, I will be unable maintain the OS X version of moneyGuru. I've already stopped paying for the
Mac Developer membership so I can't sign the apps anymore (in the "official way" I mean. The
download is still PGP signed) If you're a Mac developer and are interested in taking this task,
[don't hesitate to let me know][contrib-issue].
## Contents of this folder
This folder contains the source for dupeGuru. Its documentation is in `help`, but is also
[available online][documentation] in its built form. Here's how this source tree is organised:
* core: Contains the core logic code for dupeGuru. It's Python code.
* qt: UI code for the Qt toolkit. It's written in Python and uses PyQt.
* images: Images used by the different UI codebases.
* pkg: Skeleton files required to create different packages
* help: Help document, written for Sphinx.
* locale: .po files for localisation.
There are also other sub-folder that comes from external repositories and are part of this repo as
git submodules:
* hscommon: A collection of helpers used across HS applications.
* qtlib: A collection of helpers used across Qt UI codebases of HS applications.
## How to build dupeGuru from source
### Windows
For windows instructions see the [Windows Instructions](Windows.md).
### Prerequisites
* [Python 3.4+][python]
* PyQt5
### make
dupeGuru is built with "make":
$ make
$ make run
### Generate Ubuntu packages
$ bash -c "pyvenv --system-site-packages env && source env/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt && python3 build.py --clean && python3 package.py"
### Running tests
The complete test suite is run with [Tox 1.7+][tox]. If you have it installed system-wide, you
don't even need to set up a virtualenv. Just `cd` into the root project folder and run `tox`.
If you don't have Tox system-wide, install it in your virtualenv with `pip install tox` and then
run `tox`.
You can also run automated tests without Tox. Extra requirements for running tests are in
`requirements-extra.txt`. So, you can do `pip install -r requirements-extra.txt` inside your
virtualenv and then `py.test core hscommon`
